The National Monuments Service's description
In the SE sector of an enclosure (CL010-096----), this souterrain (traceable L 3.6m; Wth 0.8m) is aligned ENE-WSW. Its WSW end (L 1.4m; D 0.9m) is roofed and a collapsed lintel covers an opening (D 0.6m) at the opposite, ENE end. The exposed, unroofed section (L 1.3m; Wth 0.8m) reveals a stone-filled passage (D 0.8-1m) and the stonework of the upper sidewalls. The continuation of the souterrain in either direction from this exposed section is not accessible.
